[Sponsored] Introduction to LB Cosmetics 「エルビー」and Reviews
Hello sweets!
I am back today to introduce a brand that just landed here in Singapore last month!
That's right, as you can see from my title, I'm talking about LB Cosmetics!

LB cosmetics brings you affordable high quality eco-friendly cosmetics to the mass market. Products are well made in Korea, keeping up with the market trend. Prices range from S$16.90 to S$29.90. LB symbolizes LadyBird, the European culture beliefs, Ladybird brings blessing and luck. When a Ladybird lands on you, it symbolizes “HAPPINESS, dream comes true” A Dream Comes True, bringing HAPPINESS by the magical touch of LB cosmetics and debut the true beauty within you. LB cosmetics wide range of variety, complete your daily makeup need. A total of 63 products, you'll be spoilt for choice!

LB Cosmetics is a relatively new brand even in Japan. I'm glad that it is available here in Singapore so quickly! Best of all, it is being endorsed by one of my favourite model, Lena Fujii! I remember seeing her on the ViVi cover and that was what that attracted me to grab a copy of the expensive magazine (laughs) You can't blame me - she looks like a goddess! 

M.O.S.S (S) Pte Ltd sent me some products from LB [and one box of their "Heroine Eye" lash from Diamond Lash's latest Nudy Couture Series]


Excitedly, I put on all these to give the products a try!


I'm only going to focus on the LB products for this post today.


They sent me 3 products from LB, namely:
LB Sheer Matte Mineral Pact UV  [SGD $29.90]


Super cute packaging, right?! The astronaut bunny is sooo cute!


Made in Korea~


I got the shade in Natural Ocre


It fits my skin tone perfectly!


I'm actually using all the products in my look for this post.

I am SUPER in love with this foundation! I didn't expect a mineral foundation to have such great coverage. The finish is so smooth and natural looking! It has SPF25/PA++, which may not be very high but is great for when I go give tuition since I will be indoors most of the time but want to look less "dead" so I won't scare others on the street (laughs) This gets a 9/10 from me!
 
Next, I will be talking about the LB Jewel Shine Rouge [SGD $19.90]


See the cute Ladybird!


Love the polka dot packaging which is just like how the ladybird looks!


That's right, made in Korea again!


My pretty lipstick in the shade Diamond Pink

Swatch on my hand


So, my take on this?

LOVE IT TOO. Upon seeing the swatch being so sheer on my hands, I was kinda bumped out because I have been into bright, vibrant colors lately. However, upon putting it on my lips, it made my lips look so naturally pink and dolly! Best of all, it was super moisturizing! I had this on for hours and my lips still felt very moist - as if I had just put on lip balm! 9/10 for me again!

LB Creamy Waterproof Gel Pencil [SGD $16.90]


Kawaii bunny again!


I was sent the pretty pink one, which was a pleasant surprised since I am really into pinks/nudes for my eyes these days.


Of course, made in Korea as of other LB cosmetics


The sharperner is attached to the end of the gel pencil, which seems to be a trend these days.

My review?

Once again, LOVE IT SO MUCH! It is waterproof and extremely smudgeproof! About a minute after application, it felt like a thin film on my hand. I tried rubbing it really hard to test if it will come off and it didn't! Performed exceptionally well; a lot better than what I had expected actually! This is definitely one of my favourite eyeliner ever! 9.5/10 for this!

I will review the eyelash another time as it is a different brand. 
Overall, I am really pleasantly surprised by all the products I was sent! I didn't expect I will come to love every one of them so much! I actually hope to try more of their products, especially the other type of lipstick, lip lacquer, gradient blush pact and more gel pencil!

These products are available exclusively in Watsons. Do check them out, you will not regret it!

3 Concept Eyes [3CE] by Stylenanda Lip Lacquer in Show Time Review
Yay, finally I am going to be doing this review after raving about it for so long! I actually know of the lip lacquer from 3CE shortly after I heard about the YSL ones. I went to the YSL Cosmetic store at Ion but the service attitude of the Sales Assistant is just bad. One thing I really hate about the luxury brand sales assistants (be it the boutiques or just a cosmetics store) is that they always judge your spending power before they decide whether you are worthy to be served by them, sheesh. Really, Singaporeans who work in that line need to get their head out of their asses. There is a stark difference in the way those SA treat me when I am all branded up VS when I am just in my casual jeans and top. Okay, I am digressing too far - let's get back to the topic!

I have already talked about the background of Stylenanda in my previous review for their pink highlighter so if you are interested, please click here to read about it. I am just going to jump straight into the review today.

Star of the day: 3CE Lip Lacquer in Show Time


I really love the very squarish packaging. I like how their products always look so sleek and classy.


Swatch of the product on my hand along with other lip lacquers that I own from 3CE


The biggest point about lip lacquers is that it can be used for both gradient lips as well as a full on lip color. Oh look, pretty Park Sora!

3 Concept Eyes [3CE] by Style Nanda Lip Lacquer in Show Time

Manufacturing Country: Korea 

Product Ingredients: Dimethicone, Silicia, Phenyl Trimethicone, Octyldodecanol, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Isononyl Isononanoate, Kaolin, HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Diisostearyl Malate, Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Titanium Dioxide (Cl 77891), Silica Silylate, Red 28 Lake (Cl 45410), VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Yellow 6 Lake (cl 15985), Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Microcrystalline Wax, Sorbitan Isostearate, Polyglyceryl-2 Diisostearate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Dehydroacetic Acid, Yellow 5 Lake (Cl 19140), Red 6 (Cl 15850)

Product Weight: 6.4g

Product Texture: The texture is quite like lip gloss but much thicker in consistency - very viscous.

Scent: ♥♥♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ 2/10
I actually don't smell anything much from this product. Is it just me? (laughs) Anyway, I like it that there is no scent because if there is a scent and I don't like it, it will definitely turn me off from wanting to use it.

Packaging: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡ 9/10 
LOVE the squarish packaging! The reason I took one point off is because with just 6.4g of product, it probably could have been made a little shorter for better portability. Other than that, I have no complains about the looks of it at all.

Pigmentation: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡ 9/10
It goes on pretty strong so I will advise to start off with a light hand and then add on more wherever needed, especially if you are attempting a gradient lip. For a full lip color, it comes out just as pretty as the color in the tube - pinkish with a tinge of red and vibrant.

Lasting Power: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡♡ 8/10
The tint left on my lips after a meal is still pretty pink, albeit slightly darker. I find that the longer I keep it on my lips before anything comes close to causing any product removal, the darker the tint will look at the end.

Moisturizing: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡♡ 8/10
This actually keeps my lip pretty moisturized! I really wasn't expecting it to as I thought the thick consistency will just wear off in a bit but it actually stayed on to keep my lips from becoming dry as fast as it usually should.

Availability: ♥♥♥♥♡♡♡♡♡♡ 4/10
Again, 3CE does not have an offline store in Singapore even though I.T Singapore do bring in the clothing line. I really hope they will bring the cosmetics here too in the near future! However, it is quite popular in Singapore so I do see a lot of online retailers. Again, do check the sources propery before purchasing so you do not end up with a fake product.

Price: ♥♥♥♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ 3/10
Compared to many other Korean brands like Etude House, The Saem, Tony Moly and more, this is actually on the pricier side at 18,900 (more than 2x the price of one from Tony Moly!). After conversion, it works out to be around SGD $23, which is probably the average drugstore price here. (I know, many cosmetics get their prices marked up a lot here =/)

Repurchase: Maybe. I'm not too sure if I am willing to shell out that much for the same product again. If I were to get it again, I might go for a different color. Otherwise, I think I can actually achieve similar effect when it comes to gradient lips with other brands at a much lower cost.

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

That's my first 3CE Lip Lacquer review. I'm glad it turned out to be as good as I hoped. Hope you guys liked it and that it helped you in some way!

xoxo

The Saem Eco Soul Color Lip Rouge in No. 04 Morning Light Orange Review
Hello!
Sorry it has been some time since my last update~
I've been quite busy this month!
Anyway, let me get into one of the review I said I will do last month; The Saem Eco Soul Color Lip Rouge!
I raved about it on my Instagram when I first tried it on because it performed much better than what I expected!
I think part of the reason was because I wasn't expecting much from this product as I bought it without much thought (laughs) I was in the shop while my friends were purchasing their stuff and I thought "why not just buy something here since I don't have anything from here? It's endorsed by G-Dragon and I don't see this brand outside Korea much..." and that kinda led me into making an impusive purchase. I bought 2 items, namely this and another eye product (which I also love and will talk about it next time). I can very safely say that from my good experience with this brand's products so far, I will be hoarding a lot of stuff the next time I step into one.

They have quite a few such lip tint/lacquer/gloss product available on their Official Website but I only gotten one so I can't compare between them and tell you the difference. I hope to get other colors of the same line though, as I am someone who like to stick to the familiar line of products once I know that there are good. Here are the 5 colors available from this lineup:

You can use this product to achieve either fully pigmented lips or gradient lips. I usually go for gradient but when I am running short of time, I will just go for application on my entire lips.

^ In case you are wondering, the names of the colors are:
1. Hot Sun Red
2. Night Sky Plum
3. Than Flowers Pretty Pink
4. Morning Light Orange
5. Dawn Sunlight Coral

The one I bought was Eco Soul Color Lip Rouge in No.4 - Morning Light Orange


Sorry if the translation is weird because I translated them myself (laughs) Another worthy point to note is that this product is free of 4 things - Talc, Mineral Oil, Benzophenone and Triethanolamine. 


Swatch of the product on my hand


The Saem Eco Soul Color Lip Rouge in No. 04 Morning Light Orange

Manufacturing Country: Korea

Product Weight: 6g

Product Texture: The texture is described as Mousse-type, long-lasting lip lacquer and I agree. When I first used it, I was actually quite surprised because the other lip lacquer that I have been using (3CE) is of thick consistency while this felt more "airy" (Which I later realised the correct word to describe it is Mousse-like (laughs) My vocab needs some brushing up...)

Scent: ♥♥♥♥♥♡♡♡♡♡ 5/10 
It smells kind of like Hazeline Snow Moisturizing Cream but milder. Nothing unbearable, though I will prefer if there was no scent at all.

Packaging: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡♡ 8/10
I really love the gradiation on the packaging. Only complain is that the tube is a little long. With only 6g of product, I think they could have made it much shorter and more portable.

Pigmentation: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡♡ 8/10
The color is actually quite pigmented and when applied on my lips, it looks just like how the swatch is on my hand. The color is gorgeous too! 

Lasting Power: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡♡ 8/10
Even after eating, though some of the product has disappeared, the orangey tint is still there. For someone lazy like me, this is definitely a good thing as I will just live with the tint for the rest of the evening instead of touching up (laughs)

Moisturizing: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡♡♡ 7/10
It does not dry my lips out but keeps it moisturized instead. I thought it will be drying due to the consistency so this is a pleasant surprise.

Availability: ♥♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ 1/10
I do not see this anywhere in Singapore and even online, it is not that readily available.

Price: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡ 9/10
Each tube cost 10,900₩, slightly more expensive than other brands like Tony Moly, Innisfree, Etude House, etc. However, after converting to Singapore Dollars, it is only around SGD $13. Therefore, I think this is actually very affordable. 

Repurchase: Maybe. I have quite a lot of lip lacquers at the moment and even if I were to repurchase, I will definitely want to get a different color.

Overall Rating: 8/10

I can't wait to share with you guys my other purchase from The Saem which I am using almost every time I am out because I love it so much!

xoxo
